Hi Everyone, Just completed this new outing with Stanley's new fish, the Jumping Giant African Threadfin. I latched on to this fish many a times anf fought it for quite a while and had it either throw the hook on me or just plain snapped me off. This fish is definitely a Jumper, it seems like that is all the fish wanted to do. I finally caught one over 72 inches but had to use a lot of finesse and rod action to get it in. It took me well over 30 minutes to get it in even with the heaviest tackle used. I caught a total of 56 fish and 6 of them were over 70 inches. All of these fish were hard fighters. Martin did an excellent job on this one and a few of the sites had some tricky currents you had to drift thru just right to be able to catch some of the fish. This is an all open water outing and some beautiful sunsets. Thanks again to Martin for an excellent outing, which you will need to spend a lot of time on if you want to catch all 16 of the species of fish, which I was able to do by finally catching The Bluefin Tuna. Also thanks again to Stanley for a definite excellent addition to the species list and making this one of the hardest fish to catch in all the fish species I had caught. So thanks again Martin and Stanley for your teamwork of making this another excellent outing.

Great job catching all those monsters! All in the same outing too. I'd bet your palm was sweating and your heart was racing when you latch onto, and fight one of those monsters. No denying it, this is the big fish outing to top all the previous big fish outings on RWFF. I hope Martin didn't make us do a ten scene (or more) challenge or it will take hours, if not days to complete it.

I am glad you enjoyed catching the Jumping Giant African Threadfin. Martin found this unique and powerful fish and I tried my best as a fish builder to do it justice. From what you said this fish was a success. Thanks for the feed back and compliments.

Hi Stanley, I appreciate the reply and your new fish, I think was a great hit on Martin's 2 African outings which he did an excellent job on. I'm still getting info and some pictures together which I will send to Martin for a Lake Michigan Tributary - Indiana outing. If possible a jumping Coho Salmon that jumped like your new Giant African Threadfin would definitely mak a great hit in that outing. I have never seen a fish jump like the few cohos that I latched onto but was never able to get in because of the way they jumped constantly and throwing the hook or just sppooling the reel and snapping you off. Just something to think about. I have a lot of work around the houses getting ready for winter. The last half of October looked like winter was going to set in early but 1st half of November warmed up considerably. By next week temperatures should start dropping and get a lot colder. Hope your weather is fine and hope you're able to get some golfing in. Will talk to you soon and hope you and the family are staying Healthy.
